  12. Friday VCTA meeting - George Paunovic* Friday VCTA meeting was planed as a meeting to coordinate TA, to give chance to TA officers topresent/discuss all TA affairs,together with somequestions of broader interest. * Although TA officers know each other “electronically”, that was also the chance to present ourselves in person, our activities, plans, problems, initiatives, etc. * All our meetings are open. Section Chairs, Officers & guests were invited to attend and participate.*20-25 persons appeared and rather entusiastically participated in discussion.

  13. QUESTIONS (from a Devil`s advocate !)REALIZATION ?How to realize our present plans ? Who is going to realize them ? (In some cases it is evident, in some other it is not quite clear !)Are our plans real in the first place ?INTENSIFICATION ?How to intensify TA ? Should we ? On which level (members, chapters, sections, other entities, ALL) ? EXPANSION ?Should we and how to expand TA ? If YES, in which direction ?What else could be observed as TA ?

  14. ANSWERS ?DISCUSSION ? PROPOSALS ?ADDITIONS ? • 15 participants took part in discussion, most of them several times. • There were no direct answers to Devil`s advocate questions, … • … but almost all supported the proposed plans of actions or proposed new friendly ideas or additions. • It was agreed to repeat the presented proposals IN WRITTEN. • So far three written proposals are received.
